BIG HINT:  Submit the link to Moodle assignment asap then you don’t need to worry about submitting on time.  You can continue to work on your blog right up to the due date without worrying about “Did Mrs. Kwon get my ePortfolio?”

Spend some time reflecting on the videos we’ve watched and what you’ve learned and discussed on the First Nations.

Step 1:  On a sheet of paper brainstorm out the following:  What is new? shocking?  What did you not know?  You want to get as much as possible out onto your sheet.  List, mind map, use point form…

Step 2:  Afterwards you want to take a look at:  What is interesting?  You are narrowing down your brainstorming activity to what you find interesting.  You may or may not find that there is a pattern emerging from the brainstorming activity.

Step 3:  The next step is to come up with — what do you want to know?  learn more about?  See if you can formulate 3-5 well formed questions on the topics you are interested in.
